具体实施方式 Detailed ways

如图1所示,描述了独立使用极化波室内定位系统时的服务体系结构。在室内铺设发射圆极化波的发射点,以及基准点,在独立使用本系统的时候,发射点发射圆极化波,移动端采用蓝牙或无线局域网等无线通信方式,控制发射点发射不同频率的电磁波,通过区分电磁波的不同频率,或者发射点发射单频信号的码分复用等方式来区分每个发射点;移动终端装备与发射点匹配的极化天线并保证在室内的任何位置能收到至少3个发射点发射的信号,同时移动终端集成基于定位的服务LBS(Location Based Service)和通信功能;基准点装备极化天线同时集成通信功能;位置服务器集成空间数据库及信号强度数据库,同时集成通信功能模块、计算模块及其数据反馈模块。As shown in Figure 1, the service architecture when the polarized wave indoor positioning system is used independently is described. The launch point and reference point for emitting circularly polarized waves are laid indoors. When the system is used independently, the launch point emits circularly polarized waves. The mobile terminal uses wireless communication methods such as Bluetooth or wireless LAN to control the launch point to emit different frequencies. The electromagnetic wave, by distinguishing the different frequencies of the electromagnetic wave, or the code division multiplexing of the single-frequency signal emitted by the transmitting point, etc. to distinguish each transmitting point; the mobile terminal is equipped with a polarized antenna that matches the transmitting point and ensures that it can be used anywhere in the room Receive signals transmitted by at least 3 transmitting points, and at the same time, the mobile terminal integrates location-based service LBS (Location Based Service) and communication functions; the reference point is equipped with polarized antennas and integrates communication functions; the location server integrates spatial database and signal strength database, At the same time, the communication function module, calculation module and its data feedback module are integrated.

当在其它网络环境中使用极化波室内定位服务时,如在GSM、CDMA、TD-SCDMA、LAN等通信网络中使用本系统时,对发射点和基准点的基本要求与独立使用极化波室内定位时的配置一样;由于使用网络的限制,比如TD-SCDMA网络中移动端可能只具有通信功能,此时极化天线和LBS应用程序可以集成在辅助设备上,移动端及辅助设备之间可以通过RS-232等方式相互通信;位置服务器可以放在网络中的一个节点中,方便与移动端进行通信。When using polarized wave indoor positioning services in other network environments, such as using this system in communication networks such as GSM, CDMA, TD-SCDMA, LAN, etc., the basic requirements for the launch point and reference point are the same as the independent use of polarized wave The configuration is the same for indoor positioning; due to the limitation of the network, for example, the mobile terminal may only have the communication function in the TD-SCDMA network. Communicate with each other through RS-232 and other methods; the location server can be placed in a node in the network to facilitate communication with the mobile terminal.

如图2所示,描述了单独使用本系统进行室内定位时的定位处理流程图。首先是由用户终端发送定位请求信息到LBS,定位请求信息包括服务质量要求如响应时间等等;LBS指示移动端将发射点及其基准点的信息发送到位置服务器中,这些信息包括发射点及基准点的识别信息及其信号强度信息等等;位置服务器收到上述信息后,经过功率校正,然后利用发射点的识别信息和校正后的信号强度信息在数据库中搜索到最匹配的几组数据,计算模块利用这几组数据通过计算得到最后定位结果,最终反馈给LBS并提供显示给用户。As shown in Figure 2, it describes the positioning processing flow chart when the system is used alone for indoor positioning. First, the user terminal sends location request information to the LBS. The location request information includes service quality requirements such as response time, etc.; the LBS instructs the mobile terminal to send the information of the launch point and its reference point to the location server. These information include the launch point and The identification information of the reference point and its signal strength information, etc.; after receiving the above information, the location server undergoes power correction, and then uses the identification information of the emission point and the corrected signal strength information to search for the most matching sets of data in the database , the calculation module uses these sets of data to calculate the final positioning result, which is finally fed back to the LBS and displayed to the user.

如图3所示,描述了在其他网络(如TD-SCDMA)中使用极化波室内定位的流程图。用户发送定位请求到辅助设备的LBS;辅助设备上的极化天线获取发射点及其基准点的识别信息和信号强度等信息,并通过RS-232、无线等传输方式将这些信息传输到移动终端;移动终端通过Uu接口将信息传送到基站;基站通过Iu接口将信息传送到CN(Core Network核心网);位置服务器可以放在CN的一个节点上面,启动位置服务器中的计算模块,经过匹配和计算后,得到移动终端位置信息,以及所在房间的空间数据等等反馈回辅助设备,辅助设备的LBS将其定位结果反馈给用户。As shown in Fig. 3, a flow chart of indoor positioning using polarized waves in other networks (such as TD-SCDMA) is described. The user sends a positioning request to the LBS of the auxiliary device; the polarized antenna on the auxiliary device obtains information such as the identification information and signal strength of the transmitting point and its reference point, and transmits this information to the mobile terminal through RS-232, wireless and other transmission methods ; The mobile terminal transmits the information to the base station through the Uu interface; the base station transmits the information to the CN (Core Network core network) through the Iu interface; the location server can be placed on a node of the CN, and the computing module in the location server is started, after matching and After calculation, the location information of the mobile terminal and the spatial data of the room where it is obtained are fed back to the auxiliary device, and the LBS of the auxiliary device feeds back its positioning result to the user.

初始化信号强度时将室内环境划分为一个一个的小网格,网格的大小可以根据定位所需精确度来确定;将每个网格的中心对应的发射点的信号强度的数据添加到空间数据库中。When initializing the signal strength, the indoor environment is divided into small grids one by one. The size of the grid can be determined according to the accuracy required for positioning; the data of the signal strength of the emission point corresponding to the center of each grid is added to the spatial database middle.

每个网格数据存储在数据库的信息如下表1所示:The information stored in the database for each grid data is shown in Table 1 below:

表1数据库存储方式Table 1 Database storage method

网格IDGrid ID 网格对应空间数据Grid corresponds to spatial data 发射点ID+对应信号强度Emission point ID + corresponding signal strength 发射点ID+对应信号强度Emission point ID + corresponding signal strength 发射点ID+对应信号强度Emission point ID + corresponding signal strength     001001 ……...     001-33dBm001-33dBm     002-52dBm002-52dBm     003-44dBm003-44dBm     002002 ……...     001-28dBm001-28dBm     002-39dBm002-39dBm     003-45dBm003-45dBm     ……... ……...     ……...     ……...     ……...

当网络体系结构布置和信号初始化测量完毕之后,依照上文所述的定位流程,移动端将测量到的至少3个发射点的信号强度及其基准点的信号强度输入到位置服务器中;计算初始化时基准点的信号强度与实时的基准点的信号强度的比值,将这个比值乘以实时的3个发射点的信号强度值,即得到校正的发射点的信号强度;之后再利用最大似然匹配等方法在数据库中找到与校正后的发射点的信号强度最匹配的几组数据,将这些数据输入到计算模块,计算模块依据这几组数据与实际测量数据的近似程度,分配给这几组数据相应的权值,然后计算这几组数据对应的位置坐标的加权平均值,将其作为待求移动终端的位置坐标,并输出该移动终端的位置坐标,同时反馈给用户。After the network architecture layout and signal initialization measurement are completed, according to the positioning process described above, the mobile terminal will input the measured signal strength of at least 3 transmission points and the signal strength of the reference point into the location server; calculation initialization The ratio of the signal strength of the time reference point to the signal strength of the real-time reference point is multiplied by the signal strength values of the three real-time emission points to obtain the corrected signal strength of the emission point; then use the maximum likelihood matching Find several sets of data in the database that best match the signal strength of the corrected emission point, and input these data into the calculation module, and the calculation module assigns these sets of data to these groups according to the similarity between these sets of data and the actual measurement data. The corresponding weights of the data, and then calculate the weighted average of the position coordinates corresponding to these sets of data, and use it as the position coordinates of the mobile terminal to be requested, and output the position coordinates of the mobile terminal, and feed back to the user at the same time.

本发明采用圆极化波定位方法,为室内移动终端用户提供精确的定位,从而为各种基于位置的服务提供准确的数据源。该系统可供只需要室内定位服务的用户单独使用,也可以基于其它无线通信网络,结合室外定位技术实现真正的无缝定位。可以应用在百货公司、超市、停车场等等场合。The invention adopts a circular polarization positioning method to provide accurate positioning for indoor mobile terminal users, thereby providing accurate data sources for various location-based services. The system can be used alone by users who only need indoor positioning services, or it can be based on other wireless communication networks and combined with outdoor positioning technology to achieve truly seamless positioning. It can be used in department stores, supermarkets, parking lots, etc.
